One of my favorite throws to do...

[wab25]

This is one of my favorite throws. Most throws, you turn counter clockwise and throw counter clockwise. This one you turn clockwise and throw counter clockwise... (at least it feels like that) Lots of fun to do...

Do you manage to operationalize it in Rondori?

Not yet... still working on that part. Its still a fun throw to practice... it feels totally different....

Sometimes my favorite throws I could never pull off in competition. Other throws I didn't have a connection with, I would regularly dump people with. It's weird like that sometimes. So I was curious.

For and this throw... its about getting the right opportunity in randori. At for now, I need to be rolling with a Gi, as I need the lapel grip... so rolling with MMA folks is not going to give me the opportunity to try it out.

When people get thrown by this throw, the first few times they reach for the ground, as they are coming more straight over than they expect. (they also expect to be going with the turn, not against it) So, even when rolling in a Gi, I need to be rolling with someone that is familiar enough with taking this fall, that they don't reach out for the ground and get hurt. I need a bit more control to pull this off safely, on an unexpecting uke, during randori. So, that leaves me with only trying it on people experienced enough with this throw... but that means that they see my attempt at it coming a mile away. I'll get there.... just not today.... but I keep working on it, thats why they made tomorrow.

On the street, when I don't care for the other guys safety.... I think as long as they have a jacket or sturdy enough shirt, I could pull it off... However, in that situation, I would most likely fall back to using one of the other throws that I have thrown people with in randori hundreds of times. Maybe one day, I will get this throw into that category.... until then, its still fun train this throw.

What's your set up for this throw?

Should you disable your opponent's free arms when you spin your body into him and give your back? Your opponent's free arm can wrap around your waist and pull you back down. Even worse, his free hand can pull your forehead back and put pressure on your neck (helmet remove). How do you prevent that from happening?

What's your set up for this throw?

Like I said above... I am still working on how to use this throw in randori. At this point, if I can get the other guy to push me back, pushing into my shoulders, up high.... I could drop under for this.... But, I am still working on it. Right now I am on step one with this throw... can I do the technique? If I can't do the technique, there is no reason to set it up.

Should we discount any technique that can be countered? If so... which techniques are left???

 

[Kung Fu Wang]

If I can't do the technique, there is no reason to set it up.

You can train how to set up and also how to apply a throw at the same time. IMO, there is no need to separate as 2 different training.

Yes you are right.... you can train the set up at the same time. But now we get into different styles of training. Different people will like different styles.

If you train technique A with set up 1... you can get very good at applying technique A... as long as you can use set up 1. This is certainly a valid way to train and works for many people.

However, there is another way to train. First learn technique A. When you can do technique A, then you can learn set ups (plural) for technique A. You can learn set up 1, then 2, then 3....

I have found when I try the first (set up 1 as part of technique A) that in order to learn set up 2, I have to break the habits I just got done forming. Maybe this is a personal problem I have. I find it easier to learn the individual building blocks, then learn different ways to put them together. For me, this way is easier to get proficient with technique A where I can apply it from set up 1, 2, 3 or some other set up that I come up with. One of my sensei's told me: its always easier to put salt into the soup... but once you put the salt in, its harder to take it out to put in another spice.

Form / kata based martial arts tend to teach the set up and application together (down block sets up reverse punch)... and many people learn that way. Arts like Judo and Jujitsu, tend to teach the techniques first and then the set ups once there is reasonable proficiency with the technique... and many people learn this way as well.

The concern is after you have developed a certain habit, you may need to spend extra time to remove it later on.

For example, many people train "hip throw" by using right arm to wrap around opponent's waist. This give their opponents a free left arm that can do a lot of things. After they have been countered over and over, they lost faith in "hip throw".

It's not their hip throw that don't work. It's their hip throw set up is wrong.

So then you would object to this type of training?

Even though this type of training leads to:

And again you are trying to throw out a technique, because it has a counter.... But you have yet to name a technique that does not have a counter. If all techniques have counters.... shouldn't they all be thrown out?

 

[Tony Dismukes]

It looks a little bit like a gi based variation of a fireman's carry.

Since I suck at even the basic version of a fireman's carry, I have no suggestions on how to make this one functional in randori. But it looks cool.

If you move in from your right side, to be able to control your opponent's left arm is important.

When you apply a hip throw, if you use underhook instead of waist wrap, you can control his left free arm.



When you apply shoulder throw, you can guide your opponent's free left arm under his own right arm and controlled between you and your opponent's bodies.

We can see examples of both ogoshi and seoi nage being used in Judo competition, quite effectively... we can even find examples of them being used in MMA and on the street.

Are you arguing that your versions do not have counters? (hate to break the news... but they certainly do have counters... many of the counters being exactly the same as the Judo / Jujitsu version)

Sometime you may move in so fast that your opponent doesn't have time to counter you. But why take the risk if you don't have to?

You can move in while your opponent's left arm is

1. free, or
2. under your control.

IMO, 2 is better than 1.

Here are examples that your opponent's free left arm can give you some trouble.

In post #16, you showed your version of hip throw.... should that version be discounted, since both of the counters you show here, will work against your hip throw in post #16?

The hip throw in post #16,

- Your opponent left hand tries to reach to your right upper collar,
- You use right underhook to control his left arm, and
- move in with hip throw.

Your opponent's left arm can't do anything to you at that moment. This is the beauty of the underhook.
